NostalgiaCraft is a vanilla survival SMP that is trying to feel like old school Minecraft with friends. It keeps things simple with no claims and no extra bloat so you can just play and build.
Griefing is not allowed and there is protected spawn with active staff. The world has been running since 2020 and they say there are no resets so your builds stick around.
The map is huge with a 300k by 300k world and it runs on dedicated hardware for steady performance. It also supports Bedrock players so Bedrock and Java can play together.
The economy stays vanilla style with player shops and trading and no plugin money. There are a few vanilla plus commands like sethome and spawn and togglephantoms.
They use a graylist system so you can join right away but spawn is protected for trusted members. The server is updated to 1.21.11 and they talk about an active community with events and real shops.
